• MetodologiaMethodology

  Classes are divided into two seven-week modules. Each module is accompanied by a teacher and involves the development of an exercise.  1st Module:  Visual narrative: 6 weeks of illustrating two short stories with a minimum of 4 illustrations each with the aim of creating an illustrated album that compiles all the short stories illustrated by the students in a Silent Book logic. This exercise will be assessed on the 7th week in the presence of the two teachers. 2nd Module:  Descriptiveness of images: Illustrated album about an animal (free of narrative) belonging to a Lisbon association (e.g. Zoo, Pedagogical Farm, Oceanarium, Vasco da Gama Aquarium, etc.) Each student chooses an animal as the theme for 10 illustrations, front and back cover. The technique is free. The aim is for each student to produce a silent book to ensure that the images are self-sufficient.
